Ask Yeager about this guy

[akarunway 1]

Part of my military family (most dead). Smoked em all in the X-15http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_A._WalkerI was @ Nellis in diapers. My dad (the Col., USAF), his best friend (Col. Paul S. Walker, USArmy, Joe's brother) and Joe hung out prolly w/ Yeager, Col. Kittenger and the likes. Man I wish I was born a few yrs. later. I have some good fighter pilot stories tho.

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Interesting.

"Walker was the chief project pilot for the X-3 program. Walker reportedly considered the X-3 to be the worst airplane that he ever flew."

I always thought the X-3 the sexiest of the X's. Beauty is sometimes only skin deep.

I always wanted to ask Yeager if he knew Joe Svec.

U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler.
